Carestation Insights is a cloud-based suite of analytics applications that analyzes breath-to-breath perioperative data to find actionable insights that help clinicians drive improved outcomes.
The Operating Room (OR) is truly the heart of the hospital, generating more than 60% of the hospital’s revenue and 35% of its costs1. More importantly, what happens in the OR can have a substantial impact on patients, both directly after their procedures and for years following. Focusing on improvements in your OR can have substantial cost and care quality impacts in many areas.
In an increasingly complex and fast paced environment, it is becoming challenging to continue to provide superior care quality. Expectations to do more with less are the norm. Where, how, and by whom anesthesia is performed is changing. Simultaneously, patients are getting older and sicker. Cases are getting more complicated. And often, advancements in medical technology only increase that complexity.
What should you focus on and how can it be improved? How do you turn an initiative with good intentions into one that delivers results? Without a window into the OR, knowing what or how you are doing is difficult, and many times performance is assumed. On top of this, even with the best intentions, behavior change that is necessary to improve in any of these areas is very hard – evidence-based research takes 17 years to achieve just 50% adoption in clinical practice2. A big reason for this is a lack of visibility or adequate measurement of what is actually happening. Because of that, there’s a need for a solution that connects what you are doing at your institution with the outcome you are trying to drive in a way that encourages improvements. We address these challenges head on. Read more
